Water shut-offs were previously suspended on March 31 by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. However, that suspension is set to end on July 10, according to the announcement.

During the suspension, the city said, shut-off notices were still being sent to customers, although those customers were told they could disregard them until the suspension ended.
